U2 working with Brian Eno again
Yahoo! Music, Jun 7, 2007 5:00 pm PDTU2 have been working on new material in Morocco with Brian Eno, they have revealed.
The group are understood to have been in Africa writing songs for the follow-up to 2004's How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.
They have been joined by long-term collaborators Eno and Daniel Lanois, who have produced some of their most important recordings.
In an online posting, Bono explained how sessions were coming along. "We have no plans for the music yet. We're just going to make it until we can't not put it out!"
Meanwhile, Larry Mullen commented on U2's official website: "It's the first time we've worked with Brian and Dan in a purely songwriting capacity. So it's very different, quite experimental and kind of liberating because of that."
The last "original" piece of music released by U2 was "The Saints Are Coming," a cover of the Skids' classic with Green Day, which was produced by Rick Rubin.
